PREFACE. 


THE  author  has  been  led  to  depart  from  the  usual 
custom  of  making  two  Spelling  Books,  by  the  following 
considerations:  economy,  convenience  in  the  class 
room,  and  the  abundant  exercise  in  Orthography  af- 
forded by  the  Pacific  Coast  Headers,  which  this  work  is 
designed  to  accompany. 

DICTATION  EXERCISES  have  been  given  throughout  the 
book.  The  pupils  should  be  required  to  write  these  as 
they  are  read  by  their  teacher;  thus  affording  at  the 
same  time  an  excellent  drill  in  spelling,  definitions, 
composition  and  penmanship. 

In  Parts  II  and  III  these  exercises  are  also  specially 
designed  to  give  the  pupil  valuable  information,  in 
marked  contrast  to  the  strained,  and  often  inelegant, 
sentences  found  as  Dictation  Exercises  in  other  books. 

Another  peculiar  feature  is  the  use  of  script.  It  is 
certainly  a  discouraging  task  to  undertake  to  master 
the  forms  of  all  our  English  words,  by  the  aid  of  the 
memory  alone.  Eules,  reason  and  analogy,  will  do  but 
little  for  us  in  our  irregular  language.  We  must  have, 
also,  the  aid  of  the  eye.  To  this  end  it  is  desirable 
that  the  word  be  presented  to  the  eye  in  the  same  shape 
in  which  our  knowledge  is  to  be  tested,  and  applied. 
We  rarely  have  occasion  to  spell  otherwise  than  in 
writing. 

The  contents  of  the  book  will  be  found  unusually 
full  and  systematic,  including  whatever  legitimately 
belongs  to  the  subject  of  Orthography.

PART     FIRST. 


ORTHOGRAPHY. 

/^vRTHOGRAPHY  treats  of  Letters,  and  of  their  for- 
^— '  mation  into  Syllables  and  Words. 

ALPHABET., 

THE  ENGLISH  ALPHABET  consists  of  twenty-six  letters, 
divided  into  vowels  and  consonants. 

Most  of  the  letters  represent  several  sounds  each. 
The  same  sounds  may  also  be  represented  by  different 
letters,  or  combinations  of  letters. 

VOWELS. 

A  VOWEL  is  a  letter  which  has  a  distinct  sound,  and 
may  form  a  syllable  by  itself. 

THE  VOWELS  are  a,  e,  i,  o,  u,  and  iv  and  y  when  they 
do  not  begin  a  syllable. 

A  DIPHTHONG  is  the  union  of  two  vowels,  as  oi  in  toil. 

CONSONANTS. 

A  CONSONANT  is  a  letter  which  cannot  be  perfectly 
uttered  except  in  connection  with  a  vowel.  The  conso- 
nants are  fc,  c,  d,  f,  g,  A,  j,  k,  I,  m,  n,  p,  q,  r,  s,  t,  v,  x, 
z,  and  w  and  y  when  they  begin  syllables. 


18  THE   SPELLER. 

WORDS. 

A  WORD  is  the  sign  of  an  idea,  and  may  consist  of  a 
letter,  or  a  syllable,  or  a  combination  of  syllables;  as 
1,  we,  ourselves. 

A  PRIMITIVE  word  is  one  that  is  not  derived  from  an- 
other word;  as  man,  good. 

A  DERIVATIVE  word  is  formed  by  affixing  or  prefixing  a 
syllable,  or  syllables,  to  a  primitive  word;  as  unmanly, 
goodness. 

A  SIMPLE  word  is  one  that  cannot  be  divided  with- 
out destroying  the  sense;  as  book,  command. 

A  COMPOUND  word  is  formed  by  joining  together  two 
or  more  simple  words;  as  cojiy-book,  ink-stand. 

SYLLABLES. 

A  SYLLABLE  is  a  letter,  or  several  letters  combined, 
pronounced  by 'a  single  impulse  of  the  voice. 

A  MONOSYLLABLE  is  a  word  of  one  syllable. 

A  DISSYLLABLE  is  a  word  of  two  syllables. 

A  TRISYLLABLE  is  a  word  of  three  syllables. 

A  POLYSYLLABLE  is  a  word  of  four  or  more  syllables. 

The  ULTIMATE  is  the  last  syllable  of  a  word;  as  ly  in 
manly. 

The  PENULT,  or  PENULTIMATE,  is  the  last  syllable  but 
one  of  a  word;  as  ful  in  carefully. 

The  ANTEPENULT,  or  ANTEPENULTIMATE,  is  the  last  sylla- 
ble but  two  of  a  word;  as  gal  in  gallantry. 

ORTHOEPY. 

ORTHOEPY  treats  of  the  Correct  Pronunciation 
of  Words. 

Our  standard  in  this  work,  both  in  spelling  and  pro- 
nunciation, is  the  latest  revised  edition  of  Webster. 


PACIFIC   COAST   SERIES.  19 

ACCENT. 

ACCENT  is  a  stress  of  the  voice  upon  one  or  more  syl- 
lables of  a  word.  All  English  words  of  two  or  more 
syllables  are  accented  in  pronunciation. 

When  two  syllables  of  the  same  word  are  accented, 
the  more  forcible  is  called  the  PRIMARY,  the  less  forcible 
the  SECONDARY;  as  in  dec'-la-rar-tion,  the  heavier  mark 
indicating  the  Primary  Accent.

RULE  IX.—  In  derivatives  formed  from  words  ending  in  <:ie,"

EEMAEK.  —  Many  more  rules  for  spelling  could  be  given,  most  of 
which,  however,  are  so  complicated,  or  of  such  limited  application,  as 
to  be  of  but  little  practical  value.  Cultivate  the  habit  of  looking  in  the 
dictionary  for  every  word  of  which  you  have  any  doubt.

Lesson  XVII. 

SYLLABICATION. 

In  every  word  there  are  as  many  syllables  as  there 
are  distinct  vowel  sounds. 

Every  vowel  except  w  may  form  a  syllable  of  itself. 
No  syllable  can  be  formed  without  a  vowel. 

DIPHTHONGS. 

A  DIPHTHONG  is  two  vowels  joined  in  one  syllable,  as 
ea  in  beat;  cm  in  sound. 

A  PROPER  DIPHTHONG  is  one  in  which  both  vowels  are 
sounded;  as  01  in  voice;  oiv,  in  hoiv. 


98 


THE    SPELLER. 


AN  IMPROPER  DIPHTHONG  is  one  in  which  only  one  of 
the  yowels  is  sounded,  as  oa  in  loaf;  ea  in  leaf. 

RULE  I. — Consonants  should  be  joined  to  the  vowels  or  diph- 
thongs which  they  modify  in  utterance;  as: 

ben'e-fae'tor       man'u-faet'ure       e-laVo-rate 
a-nal'y-sis  pgr'ti-nag'i-ty        ex-pa-ti-ate 

RULE  H. — When  two  vowels  come  together,  one  ends,  and 
the  other  begins  a  syllable,  if  they  do  not  form  a  diphthong;  as, 

a-e'ri-al  F/er-o-naut' 

I'o-dme  a-er-o-llte 


a-orni-an 


RULE  III. — In  general,  prefixes  and  suffixes  form  separate 
syllables;  as, 

re'in-spee-tion     tm-deVi-a'tlng  tran'quil-zze 

^is-€ourra-ging    cfo's-sat-is-fied  nat-u-ral-fee 

ira-pru-dent-ly    cZis-hon-est-ly  le-gal-is^ 

in-tem-per-ange  m-ered-u-lous  iin'sue-^ess'ful 

KEMAEK. — This  rule  is  subject  to  many  exceptions. 

RULE  IV. —Compounds  should  be  divided  into  the  simple 
words  which  compose  them;  as, 


boat/swain 

horse-man 

lynx-eyed 

steam-boat 

hy'dra-head'ed 

headstrong 


rain-gauge  rear'guard 

self'-in'ter-est     home-sick 
hymn'bdbk  sylph-like 

blood-shed 
pall'b  earner 
post-script  nc/ble-man 


RULE  V.— A  syllable  must  never  be  divided  at  the  end  of  a 
line. 


PACIFIC  COAST  SERIES.  99 

Lesson  XVIII. 

THE  POSSESSIVE  CASE. 

RULE  I,— Nouns,  whether  singular  or  plural,  not  ending  in 
"s,"  or  an  "  s"  sound,  form  the  possessive  case  by  adding  the 
apostrophe  (')  and  s.  As: 

boy  boy's  world  world's 

George         George's      hero  hero's 

girl  girl's  men  men's 

RULE  II.— Nouns,  whether  singular  or  plural,  ending  in  "s," 
or  an  "s"  sound,  generally  form  the  possessive  case  by  adding 
the  apostrophe  only .  As: 

boys  boys'  Jones  Jones' 

brothers        brothers'        foxes  foxes' 

eon-scienge  €on-scien9e'  Adams          Adams' 

EEMAEK. — Good  usage  differs  somewhat  with  reference  to  the  appli- 
cation of  this  rule. 

NUMBEKS. 

The  singular  number  denotes  but  one;  as,  boy. 

The  plural  number  denotes  more  than  one;  as,  boys. 

RULE  I.— The  plural  of  nouns  is  regularly  formed  by  adding 
"  s  "  to  the  singular. 

Examples. 

o-pos'sum  o-pos'sums 

an'a-eon'da  an'a-eon'das 

go-ril'la  go-ril'las 

croc'o-dlle  -eroe'o-dlles

jag'u-ar'  jag'u-ars' 


100  THE   SPELLER. 

Lesson  XIX. 

RULE  II.— Nouns  ending  in  "o"  generally  form  their  plural 
by  adding  "es." 

•eal/i-eoes              mu-lat'toes  em-ba/goeg 

tor-na/does           vol-€a-noes  des'per-a/does

•ear'goes                negroes  eeh^oe§ 

he-roes                 ve-toes  mot-toes

changing  "fe"  to  "ves."

ACCENT. 

ACCENT  is  a  particular  stress  of  the  voice  upon  certain  syl- 
lables of  words. 

Accent  is  of  two  kinds;  PRIMARY,  as  in  in-tend',  where 
the  full  force  of  the  voice  is  on  the  last  syllable;  and 
SECONDARY,  as  su'per-ttt-fcncT,  where  the  first  syllable  is 
distinguished  by  a  stress  greater  than  that  laid  on  the 
second  and  third,  though  less  than  that  laid  on  the  last.
